::Knocking on Ran's door, Kuhn was, as per usual, smiling, and looking a little bit awkward::

Ran? Hey, you in there?

::Pause. Then a second try at knocking, even though he probably hadn't given her enough time to answer, assuming she was inside::

Hellooo?

 ::Okay so first, Kuhn thought this was all some weird nightmare about the AIDA server stuff: getting sucked into the game, weird area coding, and people with character designs not allowed in any of the versions of The World. But after about an hour of wandering around this train mindlessly, he's noticed that something is off. He's pinched himself ( Read more... )

::Sitting in the cafeteria, Kuhn played boredly with his food, resting his chin on one hand.::

This town is getting kind of boring...

::Fiddling with some peas on his plate, he groaned:: I mean, I like Pokemon as much as the next person, but still...

::Sitting on a bench in the Gateway Plaza, Kuhn watched people walking by, considering what had happened there only two weeks ago. Ragnar's words as he left had left something of an impression on him, and he wondered when the man would return ( Read more... )

::Twisting a bandage around his bare chest, Kuhn grimaced as he passed it over his wound. He'd never had to put a bandage on before-- prior to the fight against Ragnar, the most he had ever needed to cover a cut was a bandaid. Was he wrapping it tight enough? Too tight? Should he have cleaned up the bulletholes before covering them? Giving it a tug ( Read more... )

Ow!

::Colliding loudly with the edge of the skating rink, Kuhn lets out a yell of pain. He could've sworn there wasn't a wall there the last time he looked...::

... Heh, guess that should teach me to keep an eye on where I'm going.

::Then again, that girl he had been eyeing up was pretty cute... No! Don't make excuses, Kuhn!

Internally yelling ( Read more... )

::Wandering down the boardwalk, Kuhn holds a small lollipop, recently purchased from a nearby candy shop. Stopping after a minute or two, he smiles. Watching the ocean quietly, sucking contently on a sugary treat-- it's really calming. Sticking the lollipop in his mouth, he reaches up behind his head and undoes his hair-tie, letting it all fall ( Read more... )

Show me Reiko Saeki.

::Looking into the mirror, Kuhn smiles as an unfamiliar woman appears in it, typing at a computer, a frown fixed on her face. Is it really Pi? It's gotta be, right? He's sure he got the name correct.::

... Figures that she'd be a workaholic.

::After sweeping back a stray strand of hair, the woman picks up a headset from beside her ( Read more... )

::Undoing the straps on his sandals, Kuhn lies down on his bed, and lets out a yawn.::

Wonder how Pi and Haseo are doing...

::Pulling his bandanna off and letting his hair fall loose, he puts his head onto the pillow, and stares up at the ceiling, consumed by thoughts of his friends::

::Letting out a yawn, Kuhn flops back. Lying on the rooftop, his hair out of its tie, he watches the stars as they begin to appear in the dimming light of the sky. Years ago, he thinks, I used to do this all the time. On the school roof with Mai-- that was how he spent much of his high-school life. But of course, it couldn't last. After being put ( Read more... )
